Mr Jensen, I wish to give a very heart felt thank you for all the time and effort that you put into making this amazingly interesting content- I love it and your calm and thought out explanations- thank you, thank you 🙏🏻
Hey think help. Wow, thanks a lot for your nice feedback. Highly appreciated. I've thought a lot about, if I should do these videos, where I "live-code" and explain vs polished videos. Currently I prefer these, as they show my thought process and the small mistakes we constantly make and have to fix in Power Automate Desktop development. Have a great day. Kind regards, Anders
I was about to say barely the same thing (with less English skills 😅). So thank you very much ! I want to give you an e-hug for all of the videos I have seen so far. It nicely explained ! Well it’s really really appreciated. You go where the value is so thank you very much !
Thanks for the video! Can you demonstrate how to move Microsoft Lists file attachments to a specific SharePoint folder according to the characters contained in the file name? For example, a Microsoft Lists attachment has a file name that contains the word "blue" and another that contains the word "green." The SharePoint library has a folder titled "Blue" and a folder titled "Green." How would you use Power Automate to extract the Microsoft List attachments and place them in the corresponding SharePoint folders? Thanks!

How to Apply Actions to multiple excel files? So I want to apply a similar action to multiple excel files on the same folder. I'm unable to find a way to do it.
I am using the Desktop version. I am manually opening each files using the Launch Excel option and doing it one by one.
I want to apply the same action to multiple files using the shortest way but I can't figure it out.
Hey Mark. First of all - why are you opening them one by one? Why not sort it in Power Automate Desktop or an invoked script? You're more than welcome to post your case on my discord (in the Power Automate Desktop channel), then we're more than 6000 RPA developer ready to help you. Free.

Thank you Anders for your content. Here is a question that may be an interesting topic. I have a list of file names and I wish to compare that to the file names in a folder and then only move those specific files out into another folder. But I can't seem to write a flow where the file names will loop through the list of file names. I would think this might be a common use case. How could you compare files in a folder to files in a list so you can dynam,ically move only certain file names around? I hope that is an interesting question for people and many thanks for the desktop content!
Hey Peter, let me solve it. Can you send me an email with how a list looks like? anders@andersjensen.org You'll have a video next week. Kind regards, Anders
@northernboy70 if you don't mind I would love to see what Anders came up with as a solution. I am looking at a similar case with pictures. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for making these ,I'm a complete newbie to PAD but your tutorials are helping me automate so many tasks. But I am having issues with paths to folders, if I browse for the folder in a step the flow works fine but when I set the path as a variable I get an error saying can't retrieve the list of files in a folder - when I go deeper into the error I see this ... Can't retrieve list of files in folder . ---> System.ArgumentException: The path is not of a legal form . I have compared the path in both cases and they look exactly the same, any idea what could be causing this? Thank you
